How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Common questions in Darley Green

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Darley Green.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are there extra charges for Darley Green?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Signs you need sink repair in Darley Green

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Common reasons people in Darley Green contact us are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Darley Green

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darley Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Solihull and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
